Fire resistant glazing fitted at Gloucestershire Airport


WRIGHTSTYLE HAS completed a project to fit its fireproof fixed field windows at the airport’s Skyborne Flight Training Centre, a new purpose built, 13,000 ft2


unit equipped


with ‘the very latest aircraft, top-of-the-range flight simulators and other equipment to train tomorrow’s commercial pilots’. The airport, located in Cheltenham, offers flights to Jersey and the Isle of Man alongside charter services. For the project, Wrightstyle supplied


six windows with a fire resistance of 60 minutes from the company’s WSL 60 series framing system, as part of the new offices at the training centre. The ‘need for fire resistance protection’ stemmed from the fact that these


offices are positioned inside the hangar. The company has installed windows at other airports and transport infrastructure projects, such as Luton Airport, King’s Cross train station, the Crossrail development and international airports in Dubai and Hong Kong. At Gloucestershire Airport, Wrightstyle was working on behalf of contractors Mildren Construction, while the windows were installed by its approved installer, Structural Systems Cardiff Ltd. John Woodcock, contracts manager


at Wrightstyle, commented: ‘It was a pleasure working on this


project as


everything fell into place, with the whole job going like clockwork.’

In one test, nine litres of it reportedly put out a car fire ‘in just 53 seconds’. In addition, the liquid is said to be environmentally friendly and ‘cools to touch’. It will be available in four forms: a sachet, a spray, three sizes of extinguishers and ‘mass’, for fire and rescue services. For more information, visit www.firexo.com
